I don’t know if I’ll want to make Loren rating cocks a regular thing, but once I had this interaction in mind I really wanted to do it at least once.
We’re down in the trenches of this match now, with this being the penultimate page for them. I’ve been enjoying these two as a pair, and I hope y’all have been as well. I’m not sure yet exactly when I’ll be able to start the last page for this match, but I hope it won’t be too terribly long.
A pretty simple one here, but one I hope some of you will enjoy.
I wasn’t planning to do a Valentine’s Day pic for February’s Subscriber Scenario, but the more I thought about it the more I wanted to do this one. Not only does this bring in two minor JJK characters I’d like to have in the Studio but had no real plans for, but it also marks the first time I’ve drawn Nanami’s younger design. I kinda pictured this as a bit of a laid-back hangout, with Gojo, Geto and Shoko not needing as much ice-breaking as Nanami and Haibara.
I know production for this comic has slowed a bit, and I’m sorry for that. This match is one where I had a strong idea for how to start it, but for this stretch I have less of a specific idea for how things should go. Still, I’m enjoying these two together and I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the match.
I was pleased to see Kaito get a fairly warm reception when I first introduced him. Obviously as a harem protagonist his main role was meant to be a guy who fucks a lot of girls, but it’s not like his comic is ever going to see the light of day. None of his ladies have made it to the Studio yet, either, so he might as well experiment a little.
So the answer here feels obvious and self-explanatory to me, hence Gojo’s concise response. I did decide to use Geto’s slightly older design here. I’ve historically used his younger pre-JJK design, mostly because of how despicable he becomes by the time he has this design. I felt like aesthetically this look just better suited what I was going for here, though. Maybe if I get the chance to reform Studio Geto a bit later on he can rock this look more comfortably, idk.
This page and the last both cover schtick I’ve had in mind for this match since the inception of the comic, so it’s nice to see them finally put to paper. The rest of the match will be all action, though, and we’ll see how Wolf handles Gojo’s natural advantages.
Perhaps moreso than any other “why not both” answer, I really can’t picture Gojo having a real preference here. I wanted his partners to be a guy and gal associated with each other, and while I considered a few different pairs, I think MHA and JJK crossovers are kinda fun. I realized I hadn’t really used Ashido in a bit and her working with Kirishima for a role like this sounded fun.
So I think if you have two people you spend a lot of time with, it’d be hard to say who you spend more time with unless there was, like, a huge disparity. Rather, I figured Yuji could focus more on using this Ask as an excuse to get them together, since I kinda feel like they wouldn’t share much time all three of them. Both have their own unique dynamics with Yuji, and then when Gojo and Nanami are together they regress to their schoolboy days a bit with Gojo annoying Nanami and trying to get a reaction out of him. So that’s how we got here; I hope it makes sense.
